    General Profile

    I am a Mediator from Ennis, Co. Clare and now reside in Co. Wexford with my family. I have worked in a variety of roles in my life including as a Solicitor and in Human Rights.
    As a young person, I became interested in Mediation when playing with my local sports club. A conflict arose between a senior player and the team Management. Understanding something had to be done, a meeting was called with the player and Management to facilitate a meeting between the parties. This was successful and somehow I felt the magic of Mediation worked on that day.
    Later when training as a Solicitor, I could see the impact on clients of the stressful and frightening process involved in Court proceedings. I felt inside myself there must be a better way. With a passion for people I worked in Human Rights post qualification, and later found Mediation when living in a Community setting. It opened my heart to find a process which provided legal and contractual protection, and most importantly the healing effect to share one’s story and feelings with another in a resolution process.
    Having trained as a Mediator in 2021/2022, I began mediating with people in difficulty with conflict in their lives.
    I am available to Mediate in all areas of conflict including, Commercial, Community, Family and Workplace disagreements.
